i have been playing with the mbrace on my iphone but can't seem to find it. i believe i can do remote start on my gl550 through mbrace, is that true? if so, how do i do that? on the mbrace page i basically has the image of a smartkey fob. i see i can lock, unlock, horn, and locate the car. but how to do remote start??

Go with aftermarket. You're not missing much with the MBrace remote start.
